We have 2 people in my class with walkers and one with a cane who do what they can. Joe our instructor is really good with them and gives them alternate exercises while the rest of us are on the routine ones.

Is there anyone who you could speak to privately in management who could advise you of possible machines (sitting) or use of weights. If you shouldn’t be in the pool then don’t use it. What will a sauna do for you? You can pay for a temporary trainer or, as was the case with me, a trainer was assigned to me to show me the ropes for 3 days and it was included in the fee.

Don’t sign a contract…is this covered by your insurance? Gyms are social…half the fun and can be addictive. People are generally very helpful and willing to show you the proper use of something and staff is suppose to help.

@jakedduck1 If you absolutely should not use the pool then do not but if the pool is something you enjoy exercising in perhaps you could alert instructors who are present at the same time to keep an eye out for you. I know there is no lifeguard at our indoor pool but there are classes going on for quite a bit of the day with some lanes left for individuals. People definitely watch out for each other but you would need to have contact to confirm that.

It's just a shame if that is something that you could use for exercise but cannot. Obviously, you could pay for a personal trainer or an instructor to be with you in the pool but that gets pretty costly.

Is there any way it could be considered to be PT and paid for by insurance? There are very frequently physical therapists with people in the pool at my club.
